      I disagree. More children’s movies need a good horror scene. Builds character.

      The boat scene from Willy Wonka is another good one.

    The world premiere of the Michael Jackson’s Thriller video scared the fucking shit out of me. I ran out of the room screaming when MJ turned to his date and had yellow demon cat eyes. Man fuck that.

      This is what I was going to say too!

      I’m not sure if it was the premiere, but I do remember being called to come and see it - so it must have been some sort of event, or else they wouldn’t have called me in specially.

      Anyway, yeah, those eyes at the end. The rest didn’t bother me at all, but those eyes haunted me for years.

    Well I wasn’t too young, but Requiem For A Dream still haunts me as one of the most depressing movies ever made, it’s just…really sad and disturbing. I think I saw it when I was 18.

    Even Grave Of The Fireflies was more uplifting than that.

      Most depressing movie for sure. So hard to watch. I get a dark feeling even thinking about some of those scenes and character arcs

        I’m 50 and I’m still too young. That movie gives me the heebie jeebies every time, though Laurence Fishburne is the most cool-headed, logical character in any horror movie I’ve ever seen.

    My dad was flicking through the movie channels and saw that “Pulp Fiction” was on, decided to watch it because he “heard it was pretty good”.

    It was already well underway, and I had the joy of watching the entire basement scene (iykyk) at 12 years old, beside my dad. Not sure why he didn’t turn it off sooner 🤷🏻

    Event Horizon when I was 10. I think that recalibrated what the entire concept of fear was in my mind.

    Saw Bone Tomahawk in my late 30s. Wasn’t old enough to handle that yet, apparently

      One of my friends recommended this, and I had to turn it off a few minutes in. That movie is insane.

    Jurassic Park, I was 8. Saw it at the cinema and was hiding behind the seats. It still hits a bit hard.
